The reason why the Sigils didn't move too much in price is because of coin share. There were a lot more sigils in the game but there was also a lot more coins.

I can't describe how relieved I am to learn that I wasn't the only person who bought a ring of wealth never to take it off, all in the hopes of better loot 😆
Man you made me realize I played in 2004 that's insane. I remember how cool people were. I went to corp as a random and a big clan let me join. I made about 200m in an hour and it was patched soon after. I remembered everyone being broke like everyone then a week later people were decked out and if you know you know. Full barrows with infinity boot was a big flex back then.
Hey Colonello, just my 2 cents since I was a Corp camper back during this bug: the sigils dipped, but not too significantly in price. Divine and Ely were still extremely expensive that same day and it somehow didn't impact the economy too hard. Won't lie though, it felt terrible missing out on those 2 hours since its an example of the "early bird bonus" for bug exploitation in RS2/3. Its weird how inconsistent punishments are/were in the game. Would love to see a video from you on some of those exploits if they interest you! A while back there was a bug with Elite Dungeons (essentially OSRS raids) where you could skip to the end to just camp the boss, inflating kills and drops p/h, and there have been numerous promotions that were infinite gp but only until Jagex fixed them. None of these had consistent punishment as temp-bans, perm bans and no bans aren't issued consistently with any form of exploitation. 😎
Actually the only people that got banned were RWTers, but some got away even tho they juiced the ed3 boss. I know that because some of my friends abused the boss back then, some of then got banned, some not.
Theory about the glitch: I think the reason why it only worked for some drops could be that it added a static number to your chance, ex: (1/1500) => (100/1500). So when you have more people, say, 15, it rolls using the sum (1/1500) => (1500/1500)
Of course sigils price didn't crash, as they did the group system and it was cashes instantly. It did make everything else more expensive as everyone had more money in the short run. But eventually all balanced.
hello im veteran player from 07 almost been playing for 20 years (17 atm) love your channel, i was around for these stories and you're storytelling is doing them justice
I used to be in the same clan as TS Janne, I even met him irl one time. I was not expecting to see his name in a video like this over 13 years later haha
So happy to see a docuvideo finally made about this situation, have been trying to spread awareness of it for years. When I played back then I was quite involved in the community for reasons, and witnessed this carnage live. I had many invites to join corp raids flooding me, from all types of players, but never took up the opportunity because I didn't want to risk clear and obvious bug abuse. In hindsight though, maybe I should of. Either way, there were JMod alts I knew IRL who abused this. Many. Suspiciously soon after the update was live. There was a P/JMOD clan formed around the RuneFest 2010 community that had multiple high profile community members and JMods smurfs who were instantly in on this bug as soon as the update dropped, I've never had an ounce of doubt that there was a hush-hush insider knowledge of this bug spread within that group. Disappointed to say the least.
yeah im so happy these Runescape social media scammers talk about real problems. but they never tell uh ow the use countless of bots to make money out of runescape and social media
This video somehow evoked memories of when I used to trawl the RS Forums looking at people's bosslog kills, often spanning numbers of pages lol Great vid mate, and congrats on 100k!
Ring of Wealth was kind of just the default ring for many years. B-ring didn't exist until late 2005, and was too expensive for most players for a while. Only other real options were the ring of life/ring of recoil, but those are only situationally useful. I think even if most players at the time understood how the RoW worked, they'd still default to that until they had money for a Daggonoth ring.
Feels like the title for the video shouldve probably been "The glitch that almost completely destroyed the game" or something. The guy quitting the game was way less interesting to me then the ring of wealth and luck economy crashes.
A small, but important correction. The Ring of Wealth didn't increase the rate at which you rolled the rare drop table. It removed the "nothing" roll from the rare drop table.
Effectively the same thing, since the nothing drop is on the rare drop table. So it wouldn't increase the amount of times you'd hit the table, but it would increase the amount of times you received something from it
Back in the good ol' days I was talking to somebody while AFK ranging fire giants; he referred to his ring of wealth as ring of poverty. 18 years later and I still remember that.
I remember when this happened. It was on spring break and I spent all day at soccer practice. Came back home after it was fixed and my friends had been farming corp all day.
The amount of money our clan made from Corp back then 🤣 Zer0 w77 w79 BKz OTG era was absolutely peak RuneScape I miss that era so much every time I log in from year to year
In osrs is only removes the “nothing” drops from the rare drop table. Therefore increasing your chance to a rare drop table drop e.g dragon med helms, crystal half keys etc.
I get why you need ads, but there is nothing that interrupts flow and immediately makes me uninterested in watching the rest of the video like a "cliffhanger" timed ad. Every time I see it I do the deepest of eye rolls and go elsewhere. Commenting to increase engagement cause otherwise I like your content.
That must of been soooo hype getting to a corp party with the boys and coinshare on just hammering kills and building that GP! Never knew about this one! Have you ever covered the mass Rune glitch when Dungeoneering was released? I remember people smugling runes out of dungeoneering and making bills, but apparently the glitch only last like 20-30 minutes before a hot fix!
I was part of a team that smuggled tons of dungeoneering items out, it was around for years but it was very underground and not many knew about it. I also still have an account that is wearing items from recruitment drive, sitting in Varrock.
@@SeanOptimoa it wasn't so much the items like armour and such, I think it was the runes? because they were being sold on the GE and it made them crash because of how many were sold in such a short period. Though I can't remember it perfectly as it was such a long time ago so I could be misremembering. And oo like the Fox, chicken and Sack?
@@-Aidan We smuggled armor and weapons mostly, but we did other stuff as well. Only stuff that was ONLY found in the dungeons. My team never sold only showed off lol Yeah, there was an old trick with logging out at a precise time and it would teleport you out with the 3 items - could only wear the grain sack outside, holding both the grain and chicken was hard to do. There are a few around, but sketchy to log in as they would most likely get removed pretty quick if found by anyone.
I don't see how this is players' problem and they should be punished for it. Remember, people are paying their money to play this game at its fullest potential. If there is a glitch, its blame for devs for under-watching things. Why to blame players? Let them benefit from crippled system. Why the system always has to win? Dev paid the price. People got lucky. That's it.
I literally got a 3 day ban around this time for saying the word "Ass" in a pest control game. Good to know other players were allowed to literally cheat and faced zero punishment while i get slapped with a ban and black mark on my account for petty nonsense. Makes me glad i quit lol
Jagex is a prime example of what not to do in a game. They keep introducing things that are beyond their control and then they ad hoc fix their own issues by destroying the player-based game, taking the fun out of it. Eventually, Runescape will become Candy Crush, and player based interaction is no more.
Quitting the game is hard but feels amazing if you can pull it off. Don't waste your life on RS, you can do it. Just replace your RS addiction with a healthier and more productive one, it's an effectice way to rewire your brain to quit the game.
No it doesnt, theres always a hole in every RS players heart and soul when they leave. Its only a matter of time til they go back. League is the real unhealthy addiction. Ive quit RS many times and always come back, like I did last week after 7 years of a league addiction. Now im happy.
@@24hoursofwin Lol quitting an MMO actually shows more self control than just letting go of yourself. The fact that you insult this person and you think you are on the right side just shows your brain is in opposite mode. Trust me, as some who was addicted to another MMO and spent thousands.
Runescapes most toxic players are the ones that believe that because they suffered doing something, that means you should too. And only a community that toxic would want people banned over a glitch they didn't know was a glitch just because the people that didn't get in on it were salty that they couldn't abuse it m
Devs underestimate needing a proper understanding of mathematics and statistics. There's a reason why computer scientists are borderline mathematicians.
@@RogierVJi was expecting him to explain exactly what he said on 5:01, because the wiki doesnt mention anything about clue scroll casket or barrows chest and the ring of wealth
Old video, but i was one of them who abused this bug when it was in effect.. we didnt really know it was a bug at first, but after 5-6 kills we understood.. We stopped for about 20 minutes, before we heard so.. SO many others did it, so we thought why not? I think we got about 60 sigils between us, and we were about 10-15 ppl every time.. I'm still shocked why they didnt ban or rollbacked..
Bro I am getting some crazy nostalgia watching your videos, god dam. You've earned a sub buddy! Thank you, for keeping the history of the game alive, and showing newer players really just how much the game has changed over the years. I like the current state of the game and the direction they are going in.
Maybe a hot take but players should never be punished or banned for manipulating or abusing shitty code. Its one thing to client, its another entirely to play the game as the devs released it. Completely fair play
I still wear a ring of wealth just for the automatic gold drop pickup. Automatically pocketing all gold dropped by anything I kill adds up over time and is just handy.
Yeah and you can use it to TP to the GE directly. It's a nice timesave, usually it's worth using a tp. Imo, if ur doing slayer. Ring of wealth, and a glory if you're low level is a must. They give so many teleports. The other rings you get early are the green enchanted one, and get a games neck. Hope this helps. I'm still a noob too
i remember the ring of wealth glitch. I ended up getting back-to-back 100 Torstal drop from fire giants in Brimhaven slayer dungeon. which was millions at the time.
1:30 ??? You are arguing against their wording but their wording is spot on. You are given a greater chance at a rare item.... that rare item is shared across NPCs... it's not wrong and it's not misleading. Jesus.
@@ColonelloRS Disagree with what? The wording is fine. The majority of the playerbase struggled to level past 60 in any non-combat skill for over half a decade too...
The early days of runescape really were great. While there was confusion along with the ring of wealth, there still is a lot of confusion with it today. Ill explain how the ring works as of today. The ring actually has no increase chance of getting a rare drop or hitting the rare drop table. The rare deop table has a chance to drop nothing. That means your drop would roll the rare drop table and then you would roll a no item drop. The ring of wealth takes the no item drop off the rare drop table. That means if your drop rolls the rare drop table, your guaranteed to get an item from that table. Imo, the ring is absolutely useless outside of the grand exchange teleport, but the gets replaced by the jewlery box or varrok tele after the diary. Some argument can be made that its useful for ironman to get the shield half, but if your training slayer, youll get it eventually as is.
The rumours existed because... they kinda WERE true. RS3 made a rework to the 'luck' system that actually involved increasing the RNG on rare boss drops, clue scrolls uniques, etc. The catch is that... Jagex never said this was a new thing, just a redefinement/streamlining.
I vividly remember this update. I got home from school just late enough to only see other people abusing the update without getting a piece of the cake myself.. It was patched within 15 minutes of me getting back home and I was gutted..
The sigils must have gone up in price because of lootshare and coinshare. Players weren’t actually getting the items but instead they were distributing the wealth amongst the clan members. So in reality new sigils weren’t really hitting the GE, therefore the new wealthy players would go to buy them and cause a supply shock which actually increases their price.
i just got back into havent played since 2015 bunch of stuff changed since the last time new skills and other stuff i am a high lvl also just found out the lvl now goes up to 150 something use to be 128 i think
I was doing fletching in a varrock west bank few days ago, minding my own business. And suddenly 5000 noted dragon bones spawned behind me. I picked it up instantly, my heart was racing, easiest 13 mil of my life. Then 3 more rings of stone appeared on the way to the smithing area. I managed to pick up two of them, and some other guy picked the 3rd one. I've made around 18 mil. in 10 seconds. I've been playing osrs for a very long time now, and i have never witnessed something like this. My assumption is that someone probably got hacked, and hacker decided to drop down some of his valuable stuff. I guess i'll never know. Looks like i was just at the right place at the right time.
I started playing only half a year ago honestly thought that it was always balanced and not broken. After watching a dozen of such videos i understand why runescape wasnt popular
@@animefan7424 sorry. I meant "in CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries). There's like half a person per a thousand, who even heard about it
Banning bug abusers in this case would be drastic because people just wanna have fun and participate in historic stuff like this when it happens and it's reasonable to expect a rollback anyway. Would be different if they were like massacring people in Falador or something like that.
i remember this one i was doing corp with my clan then their was a update so we where like oke after update we back in after the update was done i got a ely on the first kill the sec was a arcane for somebody else the 3 was a spectral and then we found okay something is going wrong here but we still went back to farm more ofcourse within 30mins every world was packed with 100+ people trying to get luck it was crazy that they did not do a roll back
The reason why Sigils didn't dip too much is because people used coin-share. At the same time that also means there is A LOT more money in the game. You don't believe money from thin air can affect the game? you know inflation?
"Wolf Tooth Chain" , quit that game because failed company too, got banned for saying "not a girl just playing one in honor of my GirlFriend" lolol downhill from there. Why did this even happen? was not in a gang, woke up around 6am to get Grim Reaper spawn and some "south american" showed up an hour later sparked a conversation and got me banned so he could hunt it...

Lol I’m the player he’s pming think we was in ancient fury at the time
5:58 thats me. I think they hotfixed the weathglitch when i walked into bossroom
I'm loving the more frequent uploads!! Keep it up
Devs underestimate needing a proper understanding of mathematics and statistics. There's a reason why computer scientists are borderline mathematicians.
wait, so i should open clue caskets wiht the ring of wealth equipped? i thought it only blocked the "nothing" roll drop from a monster kill
In OSRS it just affects the rare drop table
@@RogierVJi was expecting him to explain exactly what he said on 5:01, because the wiki doesnt mention anything about clue scroll casket or barrows chest and the ring of wealth
Old video, but i was one of them who abused this bug when it was in effect.. we didnt really know it was a bug at first, but after 5-6 kills we understood.. We stopped for about 20 minutes, before we heard so.. SO many others did it, so we thought why not?
I think we got about 60 sigils between us, and we were about 10-15 ppl every time.. I'm still shocked why they didnt ban or rollbacked..
Also, i think some of the reason the sigils stayd the same, was because most of us used coinshare, and not lootshare
Bro I am getting some crazy nostalgia watching your videos, god dam. You've earned a sub buddy! Thank you, for keeping the history of the game alive, and showing newer players really just how much the game has changed over the years. I like the current state of the game and the direction they are going in.
Thank you so much!!
doesnt ring of wealth also auto-pickup coins?
It does in Old School, it did not in RuneScape 2 :)
The glitch that made me quit was the switch from rs2 to osrs. I had 5 99s all reset, everything gone when i signed back in.
Absolutely love your videos. Favorite channel on UA-cam. Thank you!
Colonello really been pushing the content out lately. Love it
Maybe a hot take but players should never be punished or banned for manipulating or abusing shitty code. Its one thing to client, its another entirely to play the game as the devs released it. Completely fair play
I still wear a ring of wealth just for the automatic gold drop pickup.
Automatically pocketing all gold dropped by anything I kill adds up over time and is just handy.
Yeah and you can use it to TP to the GE directly. It's a nice timesave, usually it's worth using a tp. Imo, if ur doing slayer. Ring of wealth, and a glory if you're low level is a must. They give so many teleports. The other rings you get early are the green enchanted one, and get a games neck.
Hope this helps. I'm still a noob too
The software engineers at jamflex were hungover and just said-
“If (wealthEnabkef) {
IDonTCareAnymore
}
i remember the ring of wealth glitch. I ended up getting back-to-back 100 Torstal drop from fire giants in Brimhaven slayer dungeon. which was millions at the time.
So who quit as a result of this?

1:30 ??? You are arguing against their wording but their wording is spot on. You are given a greater chance at a rare item.... that rare item is shared across NPCs... it's not wrong and it's not misleading. Jesus.
Sorry, completely disagree. It was worded poorly enough to confuse the vast majority of the playerbase for over half a decade.
@@ColonelloRS Disagree with what? The wording is fine. The majority of the playerbase struggled to level past 60 in any non-combat skill for over half a decade too...
It's the Crate Depression all over again. I didn't buy any bugged crates, I didn't get any hats but those who did got rich quick and got to keep them.
The early days of runescape really were great. While there was confusion along with the ring of wealth, there still is a lot of confusion with it today.
Ill explain how the ring works as of today. The ring actually has no increase chance of getting a rare drop or hitting the rare drop table.
The rare deop table has a chance to drop nothing. That means your drop would roll the rare drop table and then you would roll a no item drop. The ring of wealth takes the no item drop off the rare drop table. That means if your drop rolls the rare drop table, your guaranteed to get an item from that table.
Imo, the ring is absolutely useless outside of the grand exchange teleport, but the gets replaced by the jewlery box or varrok tele after the diary. Some argument can be made that its useful for ironman to get the shield half, but if your training slayer, youll get it eventually as is.
Anyone know wheres varrock?
The rumours existed because... they kinda WERE true. RS3 made a rework to the 'luck' system that actually involved increasing the RNG on rare boss drops, clue scrolls uniques, etc. The catch is that... Jagex never said this was a new thing, just a redefinement/streamlining.
I vividly remember this update. I got home from school just late enough to only see other people abusing the update without getting a piece of the cake myself.. It was patched within 15 minutes of me getting back home and I was gutted..
The sigils must have gone up in price because of lootshare and coinshare. Players weren’t actually getting the items but instead they were distributing the wealth amongst the clan members. So in reality new sigils weren’t really hitting the GE, therefore the new wealthy players would go to buy them and cause a supply shock which actually increases their price.
mod mark and all that pre Eoc content was ass. they didnt care about the game, they just wanted quick cash grabs
i quit osrs when i realised jagex care more about profit than the players
walking around seeing bots everywhere was more or less the turning point
i just got back into havent played since 2015 bunch of stuff changed since the last time new skills and other stuff i am a high lvl also just found out the lvl now goes up to 150 something use to be 128 i think
I was doing fletching in a varrock west bank few days ago, minding my own business. And suddenly 5000 noted dragon bones spawned behind me. I picked it up instantly, my heart was racing, easiest 13 mil of my life. Then 3 more rings of stone appeared on the way to the smithing area. I managed to pick up two of them, and some other guy picked the 3rd one. I've made around 18 mil. in 10 seconds. I've been playing osrs for a very long time now, and i have never witnessed something like this. My assumption is that someone probably got hacked, and hacker decided to drop down some of his valuable stuff. I guess i'll never know. Looks like i was just at the right place at the right time.
I haven't even played RuneScape why am I so obsessed with these videos....
Since 2006 I thought the ring of wealth increased all item drop rates and this video just changed that. Wow.
10:10 RIP BornForPvm 😔
I remember hearing about it and then having dreams of me loosing my items.
Edit : nightmares
I started playing only half a year ago honestly thought that it was always balanced and not broken. After watching a dozen of such videos i understand why runescape wasnt popular
RuneScape is one of the most popular mmos
@@animefan7424 sorry. I meant "in CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries). There's like half a person per a thousand, who even heard about it
I remember this happening - I was online when this was going on. They allowed some people to keep the loot and perma banned others.
Banning bug abusers in this case would be drastic because people just wanna have fun and participate in historic stuff like this when it happens and it's reasonable to expect a rollback anyway. Would be different if they were like massacring people in Falador or something like that.
I remember when this glitched happen. people were getting divine sigils every drop.
jagex is hilariously bad at their job
Huh, RS3 made it in. Crack open the cold ones bros
I remember this. I was camping 8 man corp at the time and took the morning off to do a couple quests. Turns out I picked the wrong day...
Also, the ring of wealth removes any chance of rolling the ’Nothing’ drop that a lot of drop tables have
i remember this one i was doing corp with my clan then their was a update so we where like oke after update we back in after the update was done i got a ely on the first kill the sec was a arcane for somebody else the 3 was a spectral and then we found okay something is going wrong here but we still went back to farm more ofcourse within 30mins every world was packed with 100+ people trying to get luck it was crazy that they did not do a roll back
also the prices did not really crash cuz of coinshare most clans did
People have been banned for less
The reason why Sigils didn't dip too much is because people used coin-share. At the same time that also means there is A LOT more money in the game. You don't believe money from thin air can affect the game? you know inflation?
I am a ring of wealth goblin. It comes with me everywhere.
I like that the spirit sigil was more expensive than the elysian sigil
I use a ring of wealth just cause I like being able to teleport to the GE whenever I want
It is very convenient for that for sure! I use the one in my jewelry box all the time. :)
"Wolf Tooth Chain" , quit that game because failed company too, got banned for saying "not a girl just playing one in honor of my GirlFriend" lolol downhill from there.
Why did this even happen? was not in a gang, woke up around 6am to get Grim Reaper spawn and some "south american" showed up an hour later sparked a conversation and got me banned so he could hunt it...
diversity hires and perverts in charge of jagex. mod wolf the predator. ian taylor arrested for CP. See a trend with jagex moderators?
As a software developer, I’d blame the tester for not doing their job properly.
Just so happens I’m also the tester
